We are graduate students and postdocs working on basic research in the neurosciences at Harvard University. We are excited about neuroscience and hope to convince you - whether you’ve never heard of brains or are a seasoned scientist - that brain research is one of the most fascinating areas of science today.

We are graduate students and postdocs working on basic research in the neurosciences at Harvard University. We are excited about neuroscience and hope to convince you - whether you’ve never heard of brains or are a seasoned scientist - that brain research is one of the most fascinating areas of science today. Here are some of our goals:

to share our excitement about the brain with the world, and to get people to see how cool neuroscience is

to capture what it means to be a working scientist, particularly a graduate student in the life sciences

to give a critical take on current and old ideas in neuroscience, sometimes debunking news media’s wild claims (although we are not a news site)
